What is a Stallion horse

Stallion is a male horse. One of the features is the cresty throat, which is thicker than it is for mares and geldings. Moreover, a muscular body structure. Stallions tend to have a fiery temperament and aggressive due to hormonal differences with geldings. The peaks in hormone levels, especially in the testosterone in stallions are aggressively and unpredictably different from other horses. Moreover, these waves makes them to have sex-driven dominance behavior.
Stallions have a competitive advantage over other horses - mares and geldings. They are usually popular at events such as jumping and dressage work, but the foals are not used in systems of higher levels.
If anyone is interested in riding, they should keep in mind that riding a stallion is not a good choice for novice riders, as these riders do not have sufficient information on dealing with and so easily hurt. But an experienced rider can handle a very good stallion. But it should not be assumed that each stallion will behave aggressively as the temperament of the horse also depends on the individual horse breeding and training, but it is advisable that a novice driver is unable to mount a colt.
An interesting fact about the stallion is that when it changes from a baby to a young adult, the current stallion in the herd it kicks off. This young horse wanders around until a group of horses are similar type, ie those who are young and immature and are kicked out of the herds. These horses will grow together until they are mature enough for a herd of their own.
